Our take on the Staub Enameled Cast Iron Deep Oven, 3-Qt

The Staub 3-Qt Deep Oven is an enameled cast iron pot with tall, steep sides, made for braising, frying and baking as well as soups and stews. It is smaller and deeper than Staub's 4-qt round cocotte, so it fits whole chickens and small roasts while taking up little stovetop or oven space. Staub's black matte interior resists staining and needs no seasoning. It is a niche size: great for one to three people, tight for a family batch of chili.

Best forSmall households of one to three peopleBraising and frying in one potBaking no-knead bread and small casserolesAnyone wanting Staub quality without the 5-qt price
Pros
  • Tall sides hold oil for shallow frying and reduce splatter
  • Black matte enamel interior hides stains and needs no seasoning
  • Self-basting spikes on the lid return moisture to the food
  • Oven-safe to 500°F and works on all cooktops, including induction
  • Enameled cast iron heats evenly and holds heat well
Cons
  • 3 qt is small for families or big batches
  • Heavy, around 10 lb, and awkward to lift when full
  • Hand wash recommended; not dishwasher-safe
  • Costs more than comparable enameled cast iron from Lodge or Cuisinart

Questions and answers

Is 3 quarts big enough for a family?
It suits one to three people. A whole 3- to 4-lb chicken fits, but a batch of chili or stew for four or more will be tight. Step up to the 4- or 5-qt cocotte for larger households.
How is it different from the Staub 4-qt round cocotte?
The deep oven has taller, narrower sides, which means more oil depth for frying and less evaporation during long braises. The 4-qt round cocotte gives more surface area for searing and holds more food.
Does the black interior need seasoning?
No. The matte black enamel is finished at the factory and needs no seasoning. Wash it with mild soap and dry it fully before storing.
Is it oven-safe and induction-compatible?
Yes. It is oven-safe to 500°F and works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops. Do not use it under a broiler.
What comes in the box?
The pot and its matching lid. No trivet or other accessories are included.
When is the price lowest?
Staub discounts most around Black Friday, Cyber Monday and end-of-season cookware sales. Watch the price history for a drop below the recent range before buying.
